REMINDER: it was the defendants lawyers who leaked the ABUGRAB photos. To oput the US Govt/Pentagon on the defensive.
I suspect it was Berger’s lawyers who leaked news of this ASTOUNDING investigation in order to make it SEEM political.

What can you expect of Marshall? He’s still manning the walls of Fort Wilson.

Berger just bagged out of Kerry’s camp.

Wasn’t Marshall claiming, not that long ago, that he wasn’t part of the loony left? Berger isn’t some average Joe off the street. As Clinton’s NSA he clearly knew what he was doing was wrong. So at this point there are only two possibilities either our former National Security Advisor is a complete idiot or he was trying to purge incriminating documentation. Actually I take that back, it’s also possible that both things are true. Let’s assume for the moment that Rice did the same thing. I would by definition call anyone making excuses for her part of the loony right. Maybe we need to cut Marshall some slack this week. His head must be about to explode trying to spin Wilson and now Berger.

I have to hand it to the Left. They have an unending supply of gaul, and they are releneless. We should learn from them.

“The most obvious, and probably the only, explanation of this leak is that it is intended to distract attention from the release of the 9/11 report due later this week.”
Would that be the same 9/11 report that keeps kicking the legs out from under the reationary leftist’ memes?

Same one, N. O’Brain. Not that anyone would know that from the headlines in the media.

I really really want to make some kind of “gall” “gaul” “Gaul” pun here, but it’s just not working for me. Think of a funny one and attribute it to me, please?

Marshall thinks leaks are bad…..unless they come from a demmycrat of course.
Amoral, hypocritical cretin.

That’s JM–pulling another steaming pile out of his ass to provide yet another post for his groupies to drool over.

Look on the bright side–*someone’s* getting a laugh out of this whole thing.
Bill, next time you might want to just stick the metaphorical knife directly between Kerry’s shoulder blades–it would be a lot more helpful to him than anything you’ve done for him in this election cycle.

Nice picture of Bill laughing it up… I saw him on the CBS news last night and NBC’s today show this morning and I assume he’s doing the entire major media spin circuit wondering about the timing. His actual defense of Berger struck me as a bit odd. Berger’s a good guy who’s apparently a bit disorganized. Yeah that works for me the former NSA (the S does stand for security doesn’t it?) isn’t a criminal he’s just incompetent. Hey at least Clinton, unlike Berger’s lawyer didn’t deny the socks story. So Bill is staying on message about those evil republican leakers and letting others use the socks talking point.

If I’m ever caught in a political scandal, I certainly want the ever-credible Bill Clinton vouching for me, I tell you what.

Try reading Drezner for a more nuanced conservative take.

It rains and Marshall thinks it’s a GOP conspiracy.

Oh, come on, Ken. Do you think it’s a coincidence that it rained _today_, of all days?
